TTS Glow Crosses - 12 Pack
Connect, Build & Glow with the TTS Glow Crosses 12 Pack – Illuminated Construction Play for Sensory Exploration & Early Learning
Description
These rechargeable TTS Glow Crosses are one of those toys that hold children's attention completely - the moment a button is pressed and a cross lights up, you can see the delight on their faces. Available across Canada & the US from The Sensory Supply, this 12-pack of vibrant, illuminated crosses brings together light, colour, and construction play in a single versatile resource that works just as well on a classroom light table as it does in a sensory room or at home on the living room floor.
Each of the 12 crosses comes in one of six colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple - and illuminates with a simple button press. They stack vertically, nestle side by side, and tessellate together to create flat patterns and three-dimensional constructions. Children can build horizontally, vertically, or interconnect the pieces in any combination, which means the play possibilities genuinely never run dry.
Key Features of the TTS Glow Crosses 12-Pack
- Rechargeable via USB - Powered by an included set of four USB-USB-B charging cables so there are no disposable batteries to replace, making this a practical and sustainable choice for classrooms and therapy settings alike
- Simple button-press illumination - Each cross lights up immediately with a single press, delivering an instant cause-and-effect response that draws children's attention and motivates continued exploration
- Stackable, nestling, and tessellating design - The unique cross shape allows pieces to be combined in multiple configurations, supporting loose parts play, vertical construction, horizontal pattern-making, and interconnected builds all from one set
- Six vibrant colours across 12 pieces - Two crosses in each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, giving children an immediate sorting and colour-recognition resource alongside the construction and light play
- Child-safe, durable materials - Made from high-quality materials designed to withstand enthusiastic play and regular use in early years settings, clinics, and homes
Why Light and Construction Play Matters for Sensory Development
The combination of light, colour, and hands-on manipulation makes the TTS Glow Crosses genuinely multi-sensory. When a child presses a button and the cross glows, they are experiencing a direct cause-and-effect relationship - a foundational concept in early cognitive development. The physical act of stacking, sorting, and building engages fine motor skills and spatial reasoning, while the vivid, colour-changing visual stimulus provides meaningful visual sensory input. For children who benefit from added engagement cues to sustain attention, the illuminated element gives the toy a quality that plain construction pieces simply do not. For neurotypical children, it is just a deeply satisfying thing to play with.
These crosses align with multiple Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum goals and are particularly effective for teaching sequencing and sorting in mathematics, promoting investigation in understanding the world, and sparking creativity in expressive arts and design.
Ideal for Children, Educators & Sensory Play Spaces
The TTS Glow Crosses suit a wide range of settings and users. Early years educators will find them a natural fit for loose parts areas, mathematics activities, and technology-integrated play. Occupational therapists and allied health professionals working on cause-and-effect comprehension, visual attention, and fine motor development will appreciate the clear, immediate feedback the illumination provides. Parents building a sensory-rich home environment will find they integrate easily into imaginative play and calm-corner setups. They are equally at home in a school sensory room, a paediatric therapy clinic, or a home playroom.
Ideal for: early years settings and nurseries, sensory rooms and calm corners, occupational therapy clinics, children of all abilities and learning styles, neurodiverse and neurotypical learners, home play environments, and STEAM-focused classroom activities.
